EP7/EP8 "If I Were In Town, I Would Ask For Your Number"

I think that we are making headway.
End of Ep 7 is a TBC at Pieskowa Skala castle.
If the teams do tasks in Krakow, then go to the Wieliczka Salt Mines,
Then on to Birkenau-Auschwitz,
Then on to Pieskowa Skala
the teams are travelling in a more or less circle around Krakow with a radius of about 50kms.
The next day, teams (or they keep going after they are told TBC)could travel to Czestochowa, stop at the Monastery of Jasna Gora home of the famous "Black Madona" one of the most famous pilgramage sites in Poland. (Also a good "bunching point" waiting for opening hours at 5:00AM). From here there is direct, high-speed train service to Warsaw.
Since we have a visit of Birkenau, perhaps to balance would be either a stop at the Monument of the Fallen Heros of the Warsaw Uprising (that is when the Poles took up the fight agasinst the Germans with the Russians on the other side of the Wisla River but who waited and waited until most of the Polish Resistance fighters were slaughtered by the Nazis) or, the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes. Both important reminders of the Polish World War II experience.
Then we have a DETOUR perhaps of either Tune the Piano, or XRay the manaquin. BUT if this is the Detour than we have C and M starting one task and then doing the other.
But first the teams must locate the monument to King Jan III Sobieski on the bridge in Lazienki Park (this is the statue we have seen in the opening vidpix) and this is where they may get the Roadblock task.
The ROADBLOCK could be doing something with the boats on the Lake in Lazienki Park since we only see one of the Cha Cha Chas in the boat (having a miserable time rowing)
And then, at least one thing we can all agree on, the Pit Stop mat, Phil and the Greeter is on the wide path just west of the Palace on the Water leading to the White House. Looks like the Cha Chas are arriving quite a bit before C and M.
More ideas appreciated

The yellow lightpoles in Puddin's pics are unique (3 old timey lamps at the top). I couldn't see the tops of the lamps from the video though. (nor could i make out the lamps from puddin's second set of pictures).
Also, when D/K are jumping....is it possible they are in the same park (quadrangle) that C/M are carrying the mannequin in? (Trees look similar)
Rats...for whatever reason, the pics didn't show....I wish i was less of a dork & more of a geek. :pedaler:

The park-like area that C and M are carrying the dummy is a much larger, more open area that where we see the BQ's jumping with the statue of the man on a horse behind them is situated inside a courtyard of Czapski Palace. So I think it is two different areas.

Wow I can't believe that ride on the dhow was 8 hours!
As for the stop in Birkenau, when I saw the pic of the camp it reminded me of the scene from "Life is Beautiful" with Roberto Beninni, where the little boy is the only survivor and the American tank comes in and finds him. Of course the little boy thinks he has won the tank thanks to his father telling him that they reason they were in the camp was part of a game and the winner wins a real tank. I loved that movie. Anyway, I am sure the racers visiting the camp will be very dramatic and none of these teams seem like the kind that would be disrespectful. I wonder if they will just be picking up a clue there or if they have to perform a task? Is there an area there where you can light a candle to remember those that died there?

I think hound pointed out something interesting in the other thread, for episode 9. C/M don't have to come in first just because they are 2hr ahead in Malaysia, maybe E/D, D/O, D/K got on an earlier flight and it was just delayed!
